Until recently, in the line of engines for Dacia and Renault Duster was only three engines: a 1.6-liter and 2-liter gasoline engines and 1.5 dCi - diesel engine with a capacity of 109 or 90 hp. Now for all markets the new gasoline 125-hp turbocharged 1.2-liters unit will be offered too. Enough economical motor can be a good alternative at once for two old engines.

The new Duster 1.2, with more torque and slightly less power than the petrol 2.0, and efficiency at the level of the diesel 1.5, may be the best solution for those, who doubt what to choose: petrol or diesel Duster. Diesel is too noisy and capricious in the cold, and the gasoline engine or low-torque, or has a large fuel consumption. So the most balanced, turbocharged, with high torque and economical Duster 1.2 from Renault or Dacia really had to appear among the modifications of the model.

Other updates for other base Duster for this year are not expected
